Determine the rate of change in the following description. In Ms. Katy’s math class, a homework assignment is worth 100 points. If students turn the homework in late, there will be a deduction of 5 points per day.

m = 5
m = -5
m = 100
m = -100

The rate of change in this situation is m = -5. This represents the deduction of 5 points per day if the homework is turned in late.
